Top Hat ?
« on: March 30, 2009, 01:29:11 PM »
I have a guy on his way over to maybe buy one of my frames and a barrel.
The barrel I am selling is missing the "top hat" threaded screw insert to hold the forend on.
I understand that TC would send one probably for free
but I was wondering how hard it might be to steal one out of one of my other barrels.
Ok thing to do or bad idea?
any quick responses would be great as he should be here in less than an hour.

Thanks Guys ;)
Mike

WHY screw up another barrel?? Tc will send you one for free. These things don't come loose on their own, SOME one tightened the screw to much and forced the dove tail to open.

Yeah, just tap one out of your other barrel and tap it in the one you're selling.  No big deal.  When you order one from TC I think they call it a "dovetail lock".

None of us would have had this problem if we had passed on our first one :) but then we would have never met all the great guys on the forum. Think of it this way we are stimilation the economy :) :)
